I see my wife and the mental/emotional habit is to see her as the one I know [...]

The purpose of my talking is to give you some idea of our way, but actually, it is not something to talk about, but something to practice. The best way is just to practice [...]

Every time I open up my laptop I am confronted with the Universal Brain (the Internet).
